REAL New Model news

Rob - I would NOT expect to get into the ECU - UNLESS Triumph offer an offroad-ECU which they will be under a huge amount of pressure NOT TO DO.
iirc one of the key points of Euro4 compliance is that road ECU'S must be tamperproof. And if the Triumph response on earlier bikes is anything to go by - dealers will NOT get reset tooling. Factory reset only. Something PCV-ish will be the only way.

Also we can expect non-stock exhausts to be a real issue. Whilst NOT in the same category - My mate's dealership has just had to deal with an an issue. Guy bought a Euro4 bike. Bought some flash € approved Euro4 compatible pipes. Bike runs like crap and there is no way forward. The post cat lambda simply does not get hot enough. Take it off? Bypass? - worse still. Fortunately he did not sell the bike or pipes - but said owner is pissed.

I hope I am wrong - but we may be a part of a dying breed. Folk who can and may alter their vehicles.

Plus like other captains you have so much tied into the bike you could never get your money back, as it is a work of art/love we know you would never sell it.

I’m with you...having spent 40 odd years in Retail at the Board level , the one thing I know is...the most closely guarded secret of any corporation is the detail of a new product launch. Anyone daring to even cause speculation let alone information about where in the market place ( space as its now referred to ) this new product is aimed etc will result in the person divulging this information being summarily dismissed. Fact. Think Apple. In addition they lay themselves prone to legal action as a confidentiality agreement will have been signed. Also it’s mentioned how skillful Triumph are and not having disguised models captured by the media during road tests etc. Why bother if employees in the know divest details whimsically.

So with respect I would suggest anyone really in the know would not divulge a solitary thing.
